If you want to pick them up earlier they are: iwlwifi: counting number of tfds can be free for 4965 iwlwifi: need check for valid qos packet before free In fact ... I just checked and they are both already queued for 2.6.32 so you can just pick them up from the 2.6.32 stable queue ( http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=tree;f=queue-2.6.32;hb=HEAD ) ... in fact ... I suggest you take all the iwlwifi patches there. Sorry for the inconvenience Reinette
